Inserted

If only Sunday happened every day
We're both excited as we rise and rouse
These mornings feel more intimate than most
Outside the Sunday paper lies in wait
Inserted in a blue and poly sheeth
I lay it at the hearth where she reclines
The Sunday crossword puzzle draws us near
Entwined we share the facts and solve the clues
Each answer gives a little rush of joy
Across and down unraveling every inch
Until the puzzle's boxes are all filled
Sometimes it goes much faster than I want
But other days to finish drains us both.

Nice analogy here. I really enjoyed this one and may never look at a crossword puzzle the same again.
